Hola! Soy Iris de Chile y me encontré con tu vídeo hace muchos años. Tenía dudas de cómo podría manejar si vivo sola, hasta que te encontré. Hace 7 años que conduzco y he hasta salido del país en mi auto. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia
Well done brother, I am a T3/T4 Paraplegic 30 years now I am now 47 and for years never put any breaks on until last year when the chair roll out from under me leaving me sat on the floor. this happened as now my shoulders have got the beginnings of arthritis. SO Please never be tempted to get in with the breaks off as you will regret it. But be lucky mate Daron.
My 5 year old son was curious on how paralyzed people get in and out of cars. This was very educational for him. He says "Thank you so much for your video!"
I love watching your videos so I can help my 2 year old son learn how to do certain things that he will need to know as he gets older, things that I won't know how to teach him. He was born with spina bifida L3-S5, complete paralysis below his knees. He is already mastering controlling his chair but I know there are so many other things he will need to learn. Thank you for your videos!
I saw a video like this awhile ago God Bless you for sharing this it's going to help me. I been in a wheelchair 2 yrs now i had my left leg cut off below the knee and my right leg i have to wear a brace the brace made a big ulcer on my leg that's why I'm in the wheelchair.This Video is helping me from being depressed i got to get a wheelchair like that and the Controls to be able to drive again Thanks For Sharing This Video. GOD BLESS YOU MAN FOR GIVING ME THE IDEA OF DOING THIS. I AM GOING TO DO THIS GOD BLESS YOU 👍👍❤️❤️
I have a Saleen mustang and ZO6 Corvette I get in just like you. That’s also how I break my chair down to put in the cars. Love your videos they are very helpful. I’m a T5 paraplegic since 2000. Keep rolling my friend
Hey Kyle, I'm the mom of a son who is a T5 SCI. His motorcycle accident happened June 2018 at 32 yrs old. It's been difficult for him to accept. I'm watching Brian's videos to get ideas, & I told my son about it too. His doesn't want to drive yet. Thinks he needs more core strength.
Thank you for sharing the video. Wow it’s a lot of work to just get in and out of your car. You have supper strong arms. I am not able to do it, so I drive an accessible van. Stay well and thanks again
Thank you so much for posting this. I have just bought a Jaguar XK-R and your video will enable me to get my wheelchair in to the car. I particularly noticed the aspect of getting the fame across your torso; that will make things much easier for me. Really terrific video, thank you to you and to your camera woman - great work.
Thanks for posting this. I'm an author and wanted to see how a person gets in and out of a car so that I can portray it accurately in a book I'm writing. I have a friend who sometimes uses a wheelchair but she also has prosthetics so her situation is a little different.
great video - there are so many paras that lift their legs in first - it's get to see a para slide the butt first than pull the legs in after - that's the way that I teach it to be done
Hey Brian, This is Nigel.. Just stopping by to show you some love.. you doing well and good inspiration for people with physical disability.. Thanks again
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, just stop by to show you some good inspiration for people with physical disability. You are doing well man! Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
for those who change tires and brakes like you blackpearl - a tip I use my armrest as a braker bar on the end of the socket wrench or lug wrench it works well
Outstanding blackpearlv6! Aside from your having overcome these obstacles, I commend you for having the strength of will to share it with others. I also am a paraplegic with very similar interests as you. As for riding though, I elected way back when I had my injury to build a trike. I can assure you that in 82 and 83 there was virtually no one on the planet to speak with about accomplishing that feat. Still, I always yearned for the leaning experience of a regular bike. Continued...
I was also impressed with the outrigger you built for your bike too. Also, like you, I drive a coupe (Menox-equipped 97 CL3.0) (Sweet setup). I use the Quickie revolution folding chair. It being discontinued is what drove me to your site actually. I wanted to see how easily the rigid frames effect transfer in a coupe. Doesn't matter if it takes a week to transfer! When folks watch me get in my ride, I always finish with saying, "Mini-Van is just not me!" Keep the rubber side down my friend!
I don’t lock my brakes but it’s a good idea as I’ve almost fell outta my car before cuz I have bad spasms and have had my chair roll back as I’m trying to get in and almost fell to the ground lol For me it’s easier to transfer if I put my right leg into the car first then transfer over into the car then put my left leg in. For me it seems a lot easier getting in if u have a leg in first. It kind of gives u more support too since u have the tension of your leg stretched out. Nice ride btw and your wife has some beautiful legs on her! Lucky man
Thank you so much for doing this review. I've wanted to find a way to get a wheelchair into a car (not the trunk) and this gives me so much hope I can do it (with the right car and wheelchair - love the TiLites).
It's actually an automatic transmission...I just installed a shift boot so it looks like a manual. They do make a hand clutch called a "duck bill" that is basically a shift knob with a lever on the front.
@Klfalter No, the trunk on this car is extremely small. If I am riding with someone who is used to taking apart the chair, they will put the wheels and seat cushion in the trunk and the chair frame in the back seat.
Brain I just LOVE you and all that you've demonstrated on your INDEPENDANCE, I so want that too. :D thank you so much for your Help, and inspiration. Ive had Polio since 2 1/2 - 54 yrs. ago . Yaay I can do it!!
Actually, I chose the car before realizing how many "accessible" features it has. The power seat switches next to the console, the folding seat release on the back of the seat instead of on the side, the memory seats, the smart ignition key, bluetooth,etc. I have been to several auto shows recently and have not found a car on the market that is as wheelchair friendly as this one...and it looks bad ass. :) My only gripe is the gas mileage...17mpg city.
My next chair is going to be a rigid frame. I am sure it's going to make getting the chair into my car easier. My latest car is a 1996 Mark VIII. The seats have memory and an auto glide feature. I think that's going to be a big help in having the extra room to put the chair into the backseat. Thanks for your video.
Just something I do - always put the seatbelt on my chair when it's on the passenger seat. Why? Well, imagine what would happen in an impact with all that metalwork flying around. I also wear my seatbelt while I disassemble / reassemble my chair as it helps with stability and stops me falling. I drive a 5 Series with memory seats and they are close to essential.
@MrNillows Awesome! Don't worry, it will be hard at first but you will get the hang of it. And its WAY BETTER THAN A MINIVAN! Hopefully you have a lightweight chair. As a C5/C6, I'm not sure how much grip you have. If you have a solid backrest, you may want to take that off too to lighten the load. How's you bicep control?
@GaBoYnFla Yea, I've always been into cars...as long as I can remember. I can't work on them as well as I used to but I can still do some stuff. I changed my brakes and rotors by myself a few months back.. Hardest part was mounting the wheels back on since all I have is arm and shoulder strength and no core or back muscles.
I just became a paraplegic just 2 months ago . Im in a crappy rehab and trying to train to go across the board. Im 63 had a bad bad operation that makes it harder . I dunno about this yet but always like to see how its done . Thanks 4 posting.
I became a T 11 incomplete para 2 years ago at 63. I remember those days at rehab when they would have you practicing transfers in-and-out of some random car. I thought that I could never do it by myself. After tons of PT and practice I can now stand and pivot and get in-and-out easily. Hang tough and don't give up.
@@nogiedeville1623 my time is burning since I live in a assisted living and they wont me bad till I can tranfer on my own and only had a week training and only have 2 weeks to be able. I cant move my legs or butt so to get outta bed I need a leg lift belt but to get in my lazyboy chair is problem too . See this only happened to me 3 months ago so if you know of any help or organizations that help with equipment and education I need schooling on the life we must live as one to another. Thanks
@@speedracer1945 Sorry you are in this tough situation. I know it aint easy. I got a lot of good info watching TH-cam videos. The Christopher Reeve foundation has lots of good info also. As far as borrowing equipment Your rehab place should know of a loner closet My wheelchair and walker are loners from a place out here. Insurance actually paid for a wheelchair but I don't use it since it does not fit me well.
You are a rock star my friend. Have you ever thought about installing the TMN Robot so you don't have to take your chair apart, or have wet or muddy wheels in your car? A robotic arm coming out of your trunk also would seem really cool.
@frankaguilo A folding chair with wheels and backrest would be very bulky. I doubt it could ever fit in the back seat even if I wanted it to. Folding chairs are also heavier because they have more parts and are less durable. At this point, this transfer is cake with this current chair.
I have been looking for a 2 door car for couple years, 4 door cars like my ford Fiesta is so difficult because of the much smaller doorway. The doors on 2 door car are much bigger, like this guy has. UK cars are too small for wheelchair users, I have to slide seat right back and wind the recliner as far back as it will go, I even have to watch my waist line otherwise I wouldn't have enough room to get it past me. It takes me about 15 minutes. I bought the car new in 2015 and I only done about 200 miles total. I'm in mid 70's now and always had a car since I was 17 for the convenience and quickness. I think it's better to have a car and not need it than to need it and not have it.
+Luke Yes, it was really hard the first time I tried it but like anything else it gets easier with practice. Now I don't even have to think about it. .
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, I was surprised to see how easy you can transfer from wheelchair to your car! Long way to go... strong upper body is crucial. Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
That's so smart, man! you're doing it soo good. I am a post GBS para and I know what an adapted car means. I own a Volvo and I will ask those guys for a memory chair as well. Enjoy you life!
@GaBoYnFla Yea, I'm a T1 complete so I don't have any feeling/muscle control below my chest. Cool you can still walk. Keep it up! Nope, not twin clutch so it's not an immediate shift like your Audi. The TTS is sick. :)
Paralyzed Living I see you still have a motorcycle... is that just a “not ready to let go” situation, or is there something awesome I don’t know about yet? I saw Honda has a stand alone bike using gyroscopic technology.
This works great....if you still have any type of core support. It's a little more difficult when you just lean in a direction and start falling, and falling appreciate it though
Isn't it just faster to take a folding frame chair and lift it over your head into the back seat? Although the rigid frame chairs are much lighter it just seems like such a hassle to have to take the wheels off. I know these rigid frames are the popular way to do transfers now but it just seems like the process is more time consuming than a folding frame.
bet it cost a pretty penny to getto get ur car modified hell just a good quality spinner knob is almost a bill great vid brother could help a lot of people
yeah its hit and miss from what ive read and been told...im 1 year 6 months after my injury and just for me personally after a while you stop thinking about a 'miracle' cure and get on with living you're life as best you can. I hope her rehab is going well.
I do about the same type of transfer into my tahoe. But after a few years, im ready for a truck with a lift. My shoulders are not taking the beating to well.
Hey i have been in a chair for almost 30 years. I drive a 2015 mustang GT. I will make. a video soon and send you a link. I would also suggest looking into getting a Roho spirit cushion much lighter than the jay active and have never had breakdown since i switched.
Great video!! Our 20 yr old son was recently paralyzed, T9 not sure incomplete or complete. He got in a rehabilitation hospital after 6 months. And has made progress with upper body strength 💪 and has learned to transfer to mat and he has only been there 7 days. His Dad started watching your videos while he was in hospital, and learned a lot of things that helped us care for him the last 6 months. Is there any advice you can give us to improve his attitude or build his confidence? He is very scared. His first born son was only 8 days old when this happened to him, he just turned 7 months old. Again we are so sorry for your accident love ur videos.
..Cool..my honey use to drive a 94 Mustang GT and had a manual wheel chair..Now she drives mini vans and she uses an electric wheel chair..Good video man a,d I would like to show you how to lift an electric chair into a van..
Brian, I just noticed when you applied the brakes, both sides were locked at the same time? What kind of brakes are those? I gave away my D-locks years ago because my wheels still moved.
Hello, My name is sean and im looking into getting a wheelchair that folds and breaks down like yours. Can you please let me know the type of wheelchair you use? Like the make and model. Thank you. You inspire me!!!!!!!!
You are the first para who's video I've watched that puts their chair in the passenger seat the same whay I do. With the wheels on the floor. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person who does that.
I now put them in the back seat because it was tearing up the door. I like it better this way though. Part of my pride comes with feeling "normal" behind the wheel and having the chair out of the way helps.
COOL if You have enough money to buy that car and put those things on....Just the wheelchair is more then 7.000 euros. Could You do another with a Wrangler jeep off road, Thanks.
Thanks for your videos. This one, in particular, leaves me feeling pretty liberated. What do you do if you have another person or two riding in your car?
I would love to have a setup like this but I'm only 5 feet tall so I need to be closer than he is to the steering wheel which wouldn't give me enough room to get the wheelchair parts from the ground to the passenger seat.
my son 21yrs old is paralyzed.(very recent. Feb 7, 2017) and we are doing all the research we can. what wheelchair do you have and where can we find one? the hospital is giving us a Quickie wheelchair. Thank you so much for all the great info.
You make it look so easy, but I would imagine it’s a real pain in the ass it was pouring rain outside, or snowing, does your car have any sort of canopy you can put over the driver side so you don’t get soaking wet when it’s pouring rain?

thank you so much man. this definitely helps me out as far as choosing a vehicle and what to look for.

Brian, I just noticed when you applied the brakes, both sides were locked at the same time? What kind of brakes are those? I gave away my D-locks years ago because my wheels still moved.
Hello, My name is sean and im looking into getting a wheelchair that folds and breaks down like yours. Can you please let me know the type of wheelchair you use? Like the make and model. Thank you. You inspire me!!!!!!!!
You are the first para who's video I've watched that puts their chair in the passenger seat the same whay I do. With the wheels on the floor. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person who does that.
I now put them in the back seat because it was tearing up the door. I like it better this way though. Part of my pride comes with feeling "normal" behind the wheel and having the chair out of the way helps.
@blackpearlv6 thanks for the info. I'm dying for the g37 and waiting for my new rigid (switching from folding) chair to come in! :-)
Dude you Inspired me too i love this video.. Awesome ride man!!!
Great to see that a sports coupe is accessible....I'm guessing you were a car guy before you accident?
that's one thing i hate is having to break down my chair to get in cars. the main reason i'm still driving a 97 s10.
U r an inspiration to many. 👍🏼👏💪💪💪
Love to you, Bro! I've got a buddy who would love to see this!
Your chair looks so light, you mind telling me what is made of? Mine is aluminum but still heavy to handle like that.
I'm a new paraplegic T1 how much exercise do you have to do to get strong again what kind of exercises how much weight? James Cooper St Louis Missouri
This is a quick why to get into and out of the car, if you don't have a passenger.
COOL if You have enough money to buy that car and put those things on....Just the wheelchair is more then 7.000 euros. Could You do another with a Wrangler jeep off road, Thanks.
Thanks for your videos. This one, in particular, leaves me feeling pretty liberated. What do you do if you have another person or two riding in your car?
U are so independent good transfer
what kind of wheelchair is this ? I love it. I need to get one for my brother can you help with that information?
I would love to have a setup like this but I'm only 5 feet tall so I need to be closer than he is to the steering wheel which wouldn't give me enough room to get the wheelchair parts from the ground to the passenger seat.
BOB for transfers, I move the seat all the way back. Once it’s in, I move it up so it could be the same scenario for you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you and your videos. They are very helpful!
Nice car man. This will inspire a lot o people.
my son 21yrs old is paralyzed.(very recent. Feb 7, 2017) and we are doing all the research we can. what wheelchair do you have and where can we find one? the hospital is giving us a Quickie wheelchair. Thank you so much for all the great info.
Hi Mike. Check out TiLite Wheelchairs. Mine is the ZR. The ZRa or the TRa (adjustable versions) are a great option though for newly injured people.
How is he getting on?
You make it look so easy, but I would imagine it’s a real pain in the ass it was pouring rain outside, or snowing, does your car have any sort of canopy you can put over the driver side so you don’t get soaking wet when it’s pouring rain?
Great video man! You're amazing!
Thanks! How do you distinguish left from right wheel?
impressive. i saw you said you have hand controls. how easy are they to use? i'm also a para and it would be nice to drive myself around one day
Amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
wow, your clip is amazing and you are very creative bro!!
I have a hand control attached to the pedals.
Good job man. I drive a 04 mustang gt...its not a bad car for paras either. im t4 btw. i was also hurt in a street bike crash, u were too rite?
